The last snow?

I have had about all the winter I can stand...I really hope we don't see anymore snow untill next winter! Eleanor has a hard time walking in the snow and falls down with everystep. She love the sled though.

Model

Eleanor wanted to show off her Easter dress. She picked it out herself.

Outside!

Meusem

Last week we went with some little friends to the local meuseum. Eleanor loved the train exibit and the pilgrim playhouse (she got to sweep with a little broom).

Go for a walk outside...

Today was so warm, I think even in the 50's. We spent an hour and a half walking and playing on the playground today. We were all tired but so glad to get out. Notice Eleanors rubber boots and that the "swamp" is still frozen. Most of the ice is almost gone from the grass though.
We have about 25 geese that graze constantly on the big field and they seem to hold a special power over Eleanor. We were all on the playground and the geese started to make a big rukus. The next thing I know Eleanor is wandering off down the field; never once looking back. She probably made it about 40 yards before I caught up to her. I don't think she would have looked back untill she had a couple of tail feathers in her hand. I have to keep my eye on that one.

First Doctors Appointment

We went to our first doctors appointment Tuesday. Again, we have chosen to go to the Liberty Tree Midwife group. They have already been a wonderful blessing for me with the morning sickness. I wish that I could says that the sick days are behind me...but I can't. I can say that I have been taking medication that has been helping me manage it much better than when I was pregnant with Eleanor.
The appointment was mainly just taking blood and backgroud infomation. Being that I am only 9 weeks, they doubted that they would be able to hear the heartbeat, but we did hear it. It was so comforting and makes it much more real to hear the first heartbeat. My midwife said that hearing the heartbeat this early is a good sign that we are progressing quickly past the miscarriage zone. Eleanor and John were both at the appointment and Eleanor was very well behaved.
